Dear Bitcoin Developers,

SPV proofs are an important part of Bitcoin's Design, after all Satoshi 
thought they were worth including in the whitepaper!

As far as I'm aware, they have somewhat limited usage in the wild, mainly 
in Electrum and in Layer 2 Bridges, but it is important that they work 
correctly.

I'd like to gather a bit more detailed information on where and how SPV 
proofs are currently used, as well as any other proposed uses of SPV proofs.

In this Knowledge Gathering, I'd also like to glean a better understanding 
of what types of commitment structures might work "better" than others for 
SPV -- e.g., ability to cheaply verify if a block pays a particular 
address, spends a particular coin, and the exclusion forms (does not pay an 
address, does not spend a coin) etc, especially in the context of Layer 2 
Bridging.

Happy International Chihuahua Appreciation Day,

Jeremy
